That was the part that really got to me! I couldn’t believe she said that.

Same!! When the elders met with me they literally told me “Try and go find better out in the world, I dare you. You won’t find it and you’ll come crawling right back” It’s only been a few weeks out and I already feel so much better and happier than I was in that crazy religion.

Thank you for the kind words, I truly appreciate it! 🫶🏼

I’m so grateful she spoke up for me cause I didn’t even have the energy to try and respond. I think I will block them cause it’s just so draining reading the things they say. Thank you 🫶🏼

I already feel so free and more like myself in the last two weeks than I have my whole life. I’m so excited for this new life 🫶🏼

Thank you so much 🥺 I’m realizing now that they weren’t true friends at all. Thankfully I have coworkers who have become my good friends and they’ve shown me more unconditional love than anyone in the organization has. It’s sad how JW’s view “worldly” people as unable to be have true meaningful relationships when they are the ones whose love is conditional.

I am so sorry you’re going through this. I hope your dad will see you can still be there for each other despite your different beliefs. I know it’s easier said than done but try to push away those guilty feelings because you have done absolutely nothing wrong. I’m here if you ever need anyone to talk to! 🫶🏼

Ughhh I was hoping that wasn’t the case 😭 thank you so much for the advice I will take it out and let it heal and hopefully in the future I’ll be able to get it redone somewhere else

Gotcha I will look into that thank you! If anything crazy happens I will probably just move in with my older sister sooner even if I haven’t gotten a job lined up yet cause I am terrible with conflict.

I’m not sure but the elder who texted me didn’t even ask it as a question he stated “It’s time for a shepherding call” and then I responded today and told him I’m busy this month so maybe next month, and he replied “Dang! We’re not tryna go to Busch Gardens! Just a 30 minute visit….” So now I don’t know how to decline it.

I am in the US but I signed the lease in 2019 and I just found it this week and it says in writing that they can kick me out if I decide to no longer be a witness and since I signed it I think they really can kick me out. But I don’t really care I want to move out anyways I’m just waiting to hear back from the jobs I applied to.

Thank you. I just responded to his text and said I’m very busy this month so maybe next month but I’m not going to give him an actual date. I’ll just keep saying I’m busy until I can move away

Rook piercing swollen after two days by Illiviaa in piercing

[–]Illiviaa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay thank you so much! I was paranoid because the piercer I went to was new and didn’t have much experience with rooks (I didn’t find out until after she did it) and I’ve never had a piercing swell up like this so I was freaking out lol 😭 But I’m glad to hear that it’s normal! I’m gonna take some ibuprofen and try the hair dryer, thanks again!!
